Stone, Elizabeth A
I liked the use of colors in this Prezi. I also appreciated how much information she used on world events and relevant things like that. It must have taken a good deal of research to get all of that. I thought she connected them well. My biggest suggestion would just to make the font a lot easier to read.
Weaver, Lorin R
I really liked how this Lorin used the shapes and other things in the background. I think it added a lot but still wasn’t overdone. I also really liked the use of personal pictures. My main suggestion would be about the word/picture order. Sometimes they put the picture first and then the words about it, and other times they did the reverse. It would’ve been easier to follow if it’d be consistent.
Miller, Benjamin T
I loved the idea of the two different realities. The use of arrows and lines in Prezi really made it work. I also liked the last two quotes/ statements. I like the overall messages a lot. My main suggestion would be making the font easier to read. I think this could be best done by changing the colors so that the words didn’t blend in as much.
Lalli, Brandon J
I really liked Brandon’s use of the whole Prezi shape. The V for Vendetta that all the pictures made was really cool. The picture editing to put the masks in was also well done. My biggest suggestion would be to get rid of the third picture with the unhappy girl. I felt like it didn’t fit with the rest of the storyline.
Wilson, Chandler E
I liked the use of colors in this Prezi. However, the problem with that was that it was hard to read the words sometimes. I think it’d help a lot if they made the font larger and tried making it bold. I also would focus more on the pictures of her cousins because I thought they did a good job of conveying her point.
Cantrell, Danica M
I thought the pictures in this Prezi were all really helpful. It didn’t feel like there were any filler pictures. I also really liked the use of montages. The font was easy to read which was good. My biggest complaint was just that it jumped around too much in Prezi from picture to picture. Try to make it more linear or smooth out the transitions.
Eckman, Seth M
I really liked the way that Seth edited the photos. He did a good job of helping us defamiliarize with the use of black and white photographs and by making some of them blurry. I also liked the pattern of going from a picture to words and then back to the picture. My main suggestion would be to break of up the words or use less because it seemed like a bit too much to read. May 02 Wed.
Howe, Amber L
This Prezi had a few grammatical errors that would be easy to fix. For example there were a few question marks that were left out. Besides that I really liked this Prezi. I thought the pictures were erally cute and the two paths were interesting. I think it worked very well to convey her point.
Brown, Deanna M
I liked the use of shapes to separate ideas in this Prezi. I also thought a lot of the pictures were kind of ‘outside the box’ but worked really well. Like the use of the crumpled paper picture in reference to parents that think too much. Two things I thought she could improve would be to make the font larger and change the order around so it doesn’t jump quite as much from picture to picture.
Shapiro, Kelsey A
I appreciated that the words in this Prezi were really easy to read. I also liked the use of shapes and the sequence of pictures. I’m not sure how, but I think it’d be helpful to somehow put the connotated and denotated messages into the Prezi because the first time through I didn’t quite get it. Once she explained it I thought it was a great idea, but it took a bit for me to follow what her point was.
Mascaro, Jenny
I really liked the poem for the Prezi. And I thought she edited the pictures well to connect it more to the poem. One suggestion would be to use Prezi shapes to break it up a bit more and make it feel less like a slideshow. I’d also show/ explain more about the medications because I didn’t catch it the first time through until it was explained.
Reidler, Estelle L
I liked the use of shapes and other editing to pull the whole Prezi together. I thought it was really creative. I also liked how the words were often inside of the pictures. I think that helped to defamiliarize the pictures. However, the words were often hard to read because they blended in with the background picture or were too small.
Moyer, Charlotte A
I really liked the use of real pictures in this Prezi. I thought it showed a lot of effort that was put into the project and it paid off. My biggest suggestion would be to add more words to elaborate more on the topic. That would also help it feel less like a picture slideshow and help direct the audience to get what you want them to out of the pictures.
